below), the top of which may be reached on horseback from the
sæter (fine view of the Horunger), and afterwards the precipices of
the ‘Næs’ which separates the Fleskedal from the TJradal. (The
latter, one of the most sequestered valleys in Jotunheim, is almost
unknown; at the E. end of it rises the Vranaastind, p. 138; and
at the W. end it debouches on the Utladal, about l/-2 hr. to the S.
of Skogadalsbøen.) Our route through the Fleskedal gradually
ascends to the defile of Smaaget, which it reaches in 2l/o hrs. after
leaving the sæter. The scenery is somewhat monotonous. At first
the Stølsnaasitinder, with a large glacier, rise to the right;
afterwards we have the Koldedalstind on the right and the
Fleskedals-tind on the left. The path then descends steeply to the Upper
Koldedalsvand or Uradalsmulen, and leads to the S., following the
Koldedøla and the painted ‘Varder’ to the Lower Koldedalsvand.
We cross the Koldedela at the upper end of this lake (50 min. from
the top of the pass), and then walk along the E. bank of the lake
and the stream to the upper end of Lake Tyin, crossing the marshy
ground by means of stepping-stones. The path is a little difficult
to find. We then proceed either to the S. to Tvindehoug, or across
the Eid to Eidsbugarden (p. 139).
i. From the Vettisfos to Rodsheim through the TJtladal, the
Gravdal, and the Leirdal.
2>/2 Days: — 1st. From Gaarden Vetti to Skogadalsbøen, G-7 hrs.; or
as far as the Gwidals-Soctre 3,U hr. farther (or to Muran, f/2 hr. from
Skogadalsbøen, at which last place enquiry should be made whether the
Muran sæter is tenanted). Those who arrive at Skogadalsbøen early
enough, and intend passing the night there, may ascend the Skogadalsnaasi
in the evening. — 2nd. From Skogadalsbøen to the Ytterdals Sætre,
1011 hrs.; to shorten which the previous night should be spent if possible
at Muran; if necessary, the night may be spent in the refuge-hut on the
Leirvand. — 3rd. To’ Rødsbeim, 4-5 hrs.
Gaarden Vetti and the Vettisfos, see p.10‘2 ; thence to the
Fleske-dals-Saters, 3-3l/o hrs., p. 154. — The present route ascends
the Friken (p. 154), which is covered with vegetation, following the
direction of the ‘Varder’, and after3,4 hr. descends again for some
distance. It then skirts the slope of the mountains, high above the
Utladal, the bottom of which is seldom visible. As we proceed we
enjoy an unimpeded *View of the Horunger, soaring above the
white snow-fields on their flanks : to the left, the Skagastelstinder
(7850 ft.) rising above the Midtmaradal, then the Styggedalstind,
the E. buttress of the group, descending into the Maradal, with
the extensive Maradalsbra (p. 154). To the S., beyond the end of
the Utladal, we see the Blejan and the Fresvikfjeld (p. 109); to
the 8.E., the Stelsnoasitind; to the E. the sharp pyramid of the
Vranaastind; to the N. the summits inclosing the Skogadal and
Utladal, and in the distance a range of snow-clad mountains,
probably those between the valley of the Otta and that of the B.’cvra in
the Ginlbraiulsdal.
